Crime And Punishment

By Jigyasa Singh

crime and punishment, passage of time and an agreement issued on the assurance of the fading of faces that allure us individuals once celebrated blurring into yelps reverberated through the morning, old records and warnings heartwarming sights of spiders crawling slowly into the eyes of the tiger

why must we? not caress and sway our liberty and simply be greater than divinities for when they wither we shall rise, canvases tainted crimson skipping and dripping spider-lilies on the run hands entwined

time, wondrous time too gradual towards the retribution easier on the marbles of devotion until the iniquitous ascend gasoline pedestals, prophecies and people to offend

the miscreants violin heals Tchaikovsky feels and forgets the swan laying still, to relish the fleeting vision and thrill of ruin and collapse one final relapse
